Alex has only got this far in life by living off her wits. Well, that and an ability to see glimpses of the future – a useful talent when you need to stay one step ahead of the law.
Then a robbery goes wrong, and her path is set on a collision course with the enigmatic teen millionaire Colman Reece. Like Alex, Cole is a Temporal – someone who can manipulate time – and he needs Alex’s help for a heist that only she can pull off.
But with the clock ticking, the sinister Temple on their tail and the hunt for a mysterious weapon underway, Alex soon learns that even being able to see the future doesn’t always give you the winning hand…
The first in an action-packed new series, perfect for fans of ARTEMIS FOWL, ALEX RIDER and LOCKWOOD AND CO.

Irish Times
"From the very first line, Wintour's Game has more twists and turns than a car chase. With a propulsive, time-bending plot and a fantastic hero, you can be sure the future belongs to Alex Wintour."
Shane Hegarty, author of DARKMOUTH & BOOT
"A gripping, fast-paced teen sci-fi thriller that reminded me in all the best ways of the Artemis Fowl and Alex Rider series."
Triona Campbell, author of A GAME OF LIFE OR DEATH
"I was blown away by this non-stop action thriller, which grabs you from the first page and doesn't let you go until the explosive finale has burned away to ash. I read the whole thing in one sitting, barely able to breathe. Alex is my new favourite YA heroine and I can't wait to see what she does next."
Bryony Pearce, author of SAVAGE ISLAND
